You can use their dynamic DNS and of the sorts, I called up tech support
and they gave me some numbers for my area, they are different depending on
where you are. I have a RedHat box hooked up to an ISDN router and it
works just fine. I have had no problems so far, except the standard
little ones everyone will recieve with any ISP.

:Hello Tim. I can tell you who NOT to go with for a DSL connection, and that
:would
:be voicenet. You will be met with lies, broken promises, chronic headaches,
:(and
:that's even before you have the service installed at your residence.) And
:then
:when you start to get pissed because you're being charged month after month
:and you
:STILL do not have ANY service connection and you call week after week,
:you'll
:experience this unique phenomenon at voicenet called "The Sales Specialist
:shuffle"
:, sort of on the same lines as the chinese water torture technique but more
:effective. I've given Bell Atlantic a call few times about there ADSL
:service.
:It's $50. a month and the performance is not that of a DSL, but the upside
:it takes
:3-10 days to setup and its included with phone bill! Downside they only
:support
:windoze boxes :-(
:Hope this helps, Sorry I had to sugar coat my rantings about voicenet, it
:would of
:gotten out of hand otherwise :-)
